Man, I sometimes wish I wasnt so young, and could have been there for some of this.
I spent a year working as a consultant for the company that bought the malibu gran prix and turned it into Speedzone (then sold the company), and got to collect much of the memorabilia and race suits, helmats and such that was on display in the Speedzones. I was able to make good friends with some of the drivers and crew, and see some of the ins and outs of the top fuel and pro stock races.
I was in Kristen Powels race trailer watching the super high speed vid with the clutch guy watching the tires fold over on themselves. I've had plenty of rubber dust all over, and had my share of burning eyes, and even gotten tipsy a few times when they did the first fireup in the pits.
Fun times, I only wish I was around for to experience what was happing in the storys they told."If I asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." - Henry Ford
